Question

what is your worst fear with your child or children?

if you are a grand parent what is your worst fear for your grand child or grand children?

example: my worst fear was that my kids would just vanish or disappear with out a trace. thank god that never happened.

Answer 1

My worst fear would be losing my children. Like if something happened to them and they got took from me my world would be shattered. There are tons of fears I have such as someone wrecking into our car while we're going somewhere. Theres just too many of them!

Answer 2

My mom was terrified that I wouldn't live past 12. I've had a lot of health issues, so her fears were not unreasonable. I did, but she still remembers how scared she was at times.

Once, I had a fever of 103.7 degrees fahrenheit, and she had spent the whole night trying to bring it down. She left for literally just a couple of minutes to go to the bathroom, and when she got back I was cold, and my lips were blue.

I think she has always been afraid of losing my sister or me, this was just the most likely way she would lose us. I feel a little guilty for having put her through this, even though I couldn't help it any.

Answer 3

as a parent i think we all would probably have the same fears for are children Hun...... as a mum of 2 that were in nicu its so hard to think any feather than the next day at times....

Answer 4

I have three girls ... obviously losing them to anything ... would be devastating

Answer 5

Well that I have failed in repairing them for the real world outside the comforts of home, giving them the skills and experience they need to be successful in the real world.  Oh not to sound mean or anything your example is an over feared one.  Most cases are just runaways and in fact not meaning to scare you, most times it is from one within the family that takes a child.  The chances of a child being abducted by a stranger is .00004%

Answer 6

Kidnapping.  My daughter said the other day that she should get a cell phone because in case she gets abducted she could hide it down her pants and call us.  I replied if you get abducted most likely they will be putting their hands down your pants, so your argument is moot.

Answer 7

Right now I have a giggly, mischivious, happy, and very handsome 18 month old.  My biggest fear is him falling into the hands of a molester and me never knowing until he is older, and because of that fear I am very carefull about where he goes.  Almost to a fault.

And also him turning away everything I taught him growing up and leaning towards a bad lifestyle when he becomes a teen.  I myself am I black woman raised upper middle class I know so many people who came from a good background, parents were very good to them, and they insisted on getting into trouble.  I actually know someone who is in the Whos Who when once he graduated, he opted to start selling dope and stealing cars and went to prison for a few years.  Now he is working a as a low paid chef because very few places will hire him.  

My son is my joy and I will do anything, ANYTHING, to stop him from going a bad route.  Even opted to raise him alone instead of with the assistance of his crazy father because I felt he had nothing positive to offer him and I didnt want my son to grow up thinking fighting and drama was a normal way of life.  And as far as dating, i dont expose my son to men i am considering seriously and if I even see a hint of a negative vibe from them, I let them go.  If they are good men but have rotten kids, they can forget it.

Answer 8

I think most parents have the same fear....losing a child or having something bad happen to them.  All we want is to keep our kids safe!

Answer 9

I am a mother, i have one... I think him having an uncureable illness would be my fear.
